Stormsure Caravan & Awning Repair Kit In Box

Product Information

What I would also note is I’ve seen air awnings cope with wind much better than traditional pole awnings because they can move with the wind.

However, the process and repair are very similar to how you would approach a repair on pretty much any make of air awning from Vango or any other manufacturer. As I discussed above, the method to identify the leak in the official Kamp video, I don’t think, is going to work for most people. When I write my posts, I like to reference the best information/videos on whatever subject I’m discussing. A sewing awl might be an option for tears and holes that require more heavy-duty repairs. Waxed thread will keep the sides of the hole from fraying even further. If you don’t want to sew the material yourself, there are tent shops that can sew it for a cost. It was interesting to see that it wasn’t the beam that either Keith or Michele suspected of leaking.

To be able to remove the bladder’s inner tube, first, the valves have to be isolated on both ends. The outer and protective sleeves can be unzipped, and the bladder’s inner tube can be removed. My Issues With Kampas Official Method On How To Identify The Leak & Using Repair Tape Keith & Michele discuss their method for identifying the leak and completing the repair, which I think is much better advice than that provided by Kampa in the official video How To Identify Which Air Tube Is Leaking However, too much movement could be something which ultimately leads to a leaking air pipe or even a rip/tear. When you’re ready to depart from camp, looking at the awning isn’t usually a priority. It’s unfortunate because a small hole or tear needs to be repaired immediately to ensure that it doesn’t widen and become a gaping hole. After every trip with your RV, you should inspect the awning to ensure that there are no holes or tears beginning. Taking the those first two options, buying a new awning might be necessary if the extent of the damage and the cost of the repairs is more than the cost of a new one. However, it may be better to consider having it repaired, as it will mean you will get longer out of your awning and will dramatically reduce the costs.

I hope the above information was useful and helps you to repair any leaks you experience with your air awning. For a good repair on your awning, you’ll need extra material to create a patch for the awning. Often when a hole or tear develops, it becomes stretched, and the sides of the tear won’t meet correctly for taping. A patch can be applied to cover the hole or tear. Kampa Repair Solution will adhere to almost any surface for fast, strong and extremely durable repairs to thousands of items. Ideal for sealing and repairing holes and rips in tents, awnings and other inflatable products. The decision on whether the time and effort to repair an air beam as opposed to replacing it is obviously a personal one. Therefore, if you did this leak test and the next morning found it was one of the main support beams which were leaking, your best bet is to try and leave the repair until after you take the awning down.You will not be disappointed with this product. It will repair any hole or tear instantly and will last for YEARS. The Tear-Aid repair patches are made from an exceptionally tough, matte finish, abrasion resistant, polyurethane elastomer that resists puncture and tearing. They are combined with an aggressive adhesive, formulated for high strength bond to all acrylic and polyester surfaces. Despite being so strong, the patches are cut easily with scissors and remain firm and air-tight even when tensioned. When you have a damaged awning, depending on the extent of the damage, you really have three different options open to you – you can buy a new one, have it repaired by a professional company or try and carry out the repairs yourself. Then the hole appears to be in the centre of the air tube. I don’t think this is a very good method to help you identify where the leak is, more on that below.
